Day 142 to Kayacik Camp Turkey, 124km, 11,860km to date, 182km to go, 1343m up,  35m end. 

A very good day.  The early part of the ride was along the ridges from the camp location to the coast, I felt like I was in Tuscany in Italy.  Then we dropped down to the Black Sea coast.  After a few km it was getting fairly warm - so a swim in the Black Sea it was.  The Black Sea was a very nice temperature, cool but definitely not cold.

It will be a fairly hard day tomorrow, then a relatively easy day into Istanbul.  Wow, 5 months coming to a conclusion, a bit hard to believe!

Some pics from the day:

Finally after riding 90% of the way across Turkey, we see the Black Sea:

Grant and Bruno in for a swim, I joined them after this picture:
